Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As a first year teacher, I am starting out with the bare minimum while wanting to provide my students with activities and review games where they can use multi-modal techniques to get their voices heard. Being able to use things like whiteboard and snack rewards provides students with a chance to learn without the stress that could come along with it. Since students will be reading curriculum books, having other books available in the classroom can produce better readers and students more excited to read. This project will not only help me make my classroom a more organized and comfortable space for my students, but will also promote learning and excitement for English. Thank you!
